Microsatellite-based genetic diversity assessment of Donggala cattle (Bos indicus) in Indonesia: Insights for conservation and breeding
Donggala cattle exhibit considerable genetic diversity, underscoring their value as a reservoir for breeding and conservation programs. Microsatellite markers, particularly SPS113, ETH225, and TGLA122, proved highly informative for genetic assessment. The application of 3D PCA enhanced resolution in distinguishing closely related breeds, supporting its use in molecular characterization. These findings provide essential baseline data for sustainable management, conservation, and genetic improvement of Donggala cattle.
